Vacation lost: we don’t take days off and can’t afford trips

Ohioans are leaving millions of vacation days on the table, and if we do take days off many of us can’t afford a vacation, research shows.

Nearly half of Americans do not plan to take a vacation this summer and one in four say it’s because they can’t afford it, according to a survey from Bankrate.com.

This is in addition to millions of days off we don’t utilize.

Ohioans failed to use 22 million vacation days last year, according to a survey by AAA and Project: Time Off.
